2013

In response to a question from the New York City Campaign Finance Board about the most important issue he would address if elected, Moore said:

I have travelled District 18 by foot and have knocked on doors, sometimes by myself in many New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) projects at night and residents have told me to my face that they feel abandoned and forgotten by the incumbent. I live here too and I will fight to improve our quality of life, securing tax abatements and lower property taxes.[16]

—William Moore[17]

Other issues he listed as important were:

I will create: Jobs, Affordable Housing and Homeownership opportunities for local residents. I will rid our schools of bullies who threaten our kid's general welfare and education.[16]

—William Moore[17]
